Yes, I quite see where the wires got crossed.
I think it was the sequence.
TE said it was a third.
I said I thought it was more.
You then said I shouldn't listen to TE because he/she was often wrong - so I thought you might have been agreeing with me.
But you weren't.

No problem.

I've decided it should be the Big Brother theme music. It would suit this country down to the ground now.

I feel that God Save the Queen should be and always must be our National Anthem!

Perhaps to get a better look at what should be the National Anthem we first need to state if its the British or English National Anthem.
Ill create a new poll on what should be the British National Anthem.

This would equalise the British nations - Scotland and Wales both have their own anthems played at sporting events.

For once, I totally agree!

It should be the theme for the X Factor.

I think the British National Anthem should remain God Save the Queen.

England should have an additional anthem which should either be Land of Hope and Glory or I vow to thee my country.

Scotland should sing "Scotland the Brave" and Wales should keep "Land of my Fathers".

I think Jerusalem should be England's National Anthem, but God Save the Queen is right for the whole country. It expresses our loyalty to three of Great Britain's favorite things The Monarchy, Christianity and our Country

We stand for GSTQ because - well because it's a tradition.

I'm not standing for 'Jerusalem' and more than I would stand for 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' or 'Here it is Merry Christmas'. What or who am I supposed to be standing for?

The umpteen millions of cowardly scum who have the nerve to call themselves English?
